Locked in a world neither fully understood, two random strangers hold the power to change everything in their hands.
Artemis grew up struggling, from the environment, the Shield Consortium AIs, and from the indifference of the Uppers. Despite this, she never made waves. At least, not until the Stellar Shield units arrived with accusations of sedition. Forced into action, Artemis has no idea what life is about to throw at her.
From his privileged home among the Uppers, Talin Viltri struggles with how his fellow AIs treat humans. He knows there must be a better way, one not involving violence, but he cannot see how. It isn't until he crosses paths with Artemis that he finds a new life waiting for him. One capable of changing it all.
The unlikely pair take solace in each other, even as opposing forces become desperate to stop them.
Can Artemis and Talin overcome their differences to save both their worlds? Or is the future already decided?.
